DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0019] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0020] Example 1

[0021] like Figure 1 As shown, the new lever-type gas self-closing valve includes a valve body 1, a fixed seat 9, an air inlet plug 12, a torsion bar 3, a lifting knob 2, a limiting armature 6, an upper armature 7, a permanent magnet 8, a rubber membrane 4, a blocking rod 11, a return spring 13, and a pendulum block 10. The valve body 1 has an air inlet cavity 16 and an air outlet cavity formed at its front and rear ends, respectively. A rubber membrane 4 is fixed within the valve body 1 cavity, separating the upper and lower areas of the valve body 1 cavity. The bottom end of the torsion bar 3 passes through the middle hole of the rubber membrane 4 and is fixed to the upper armature 7. The top end of the torsion bar 3 extends from the top hole of the valve body 1 and is mounted with the lifting knob 2. Below the torsion bar 3, a groove is formed on the bottom wall of the valve body 1. The limiting armature 6 is threadedly connected to the groove at the top notch of the groove. The fixing seat 9 is placed within the groove cavity of the groove.

[0022] A movable groove 33 is formed inwardly on the surface of the fixed seat 9 facing the air inlet cavity 16 of the valve body 1, and the convex end of the top of the fixed seat 9 extends from the hole on the limiting armature 6 and is fixed to the permanent magnet 8. In this example, the air inlet plug 12 is installed in the air inlet cavity 16 and along the direction of gas flow. A convex ring is formed on the cavity wall at the outlet of the air inlet cavity 16 facing the air inlet plug 12. The air inlet plug 12 and the convex ring cooperate to improve the partition effect. The end of the blocking rod 11 is fixed to the air inlet plug 12. The air inlet plug 12 is made of rubber, and the other end of the blocking rod 11 extends into the space where the fixed seat 9 is located. In order to improve stability, a positioning seat 15 is fixed at the outlet of the air inlet cavity 16. The blocking rod 11 passes through the central hole of the positioning seat 15. A radially fixed pin 14 is installed on the blocking rod 11, and a reset spring 13 is installed between the pin 14 and the positioning seat 15. Figure 1 As shown, the return spring 13 is sleeved on the blocking rod 11.

[0023] In this example, a pendulum block 10 is installed between the end of the blocking rod 11 and the fixed seat 9 in the space where the fixed seat 9 is located, wherein the tail end of the pendulum block 10 is pivotally connected to the cavity wall of the valve body 1 by an axis, etc., and the end of the blocking rod 11 is located above the tail end of the pendulum block 10, and the bottom of the head end of the pendulum block 10 is located in the movable groove 33. Under this structure, the lifting button moves up, and the fixed seat is raised by the hand torsion rod, permanent magnet, armature, etc. The groove wall of the movable groove abuts and pushes the pendulum block to swing to the right. During the right swing of the pendulum block, the blocking rod is pushed to move right, and the air intake plug moves to open the air intake cavity. When the lifting button is moved down and reset, the fixed seat is reset. Under the action of the reset spring, the blocking rod drives the pendulum block to reset, and the air intake plug blocks the air intake cavity.

[0024] In this example, a drive mechanism is mounted on the top of the valve body 1. The drive mechanism comprises a housing, which is fixed to the valve body wall on the side of the handle. The housing consists of a rectangular body 18 and a stepped cover 19, which seals the top opening of the body 18. A mounting seat 20 is slidably connected to the body 18 of the housing. Specifically, a slider 30 is mounted at the bottom of the mounting seat 20, and a guide rail is mounted on the corresponding bottom wall of the body 18 cavity. The slider and guide rail cooperate to improve the movement stability of the mounting seat. The top surface of the mounting seat 20 has a two-level stepped shape, with each step having a concave mounting groove. In the figure, the left mounting groove houses a drive motor 21 along the width of the mounting seat, while the right mounting groove houses a drive motor 23 along the length of the mounting seat. A rack-and-pinion transmission mechanism 1 comprises a gear 1 and a rack 1 25. Gear 1 is mounted on the output end of drive motor 1 21, while rack 1 25 is fixed to the bottom wall of the body 18 cavity along the length of the mounting seat 20. The drive motor 1 21 drives the mounting seat 20 through the cooperation of gear 1 and rack 1 25. The second gear rack transmission mechanism includes a second gear 24 and a second rack 29. The output end of the second driving motor 23 is installed with the second gear 24. The second rack 29 meshing with the second gear slides with the end wall of the mounting seat 20. The second rack 29 is formed with a T-shaped groove on the surface facing the end face of the mounting seat 20, and a T-shaped slider is formed at the corresponding end face of the mounting seat. The T-shaped slider and the T-shaped groove cooperate to guide the movement of the second rack. The second rack 29 is radially fixed with a connecting rod 31 on the surface facing the lifting button 2. The connecting hole 28 is formed on the peripheral wall of the lifting button 2 corresponding to the end of the connecting rod 31, and a notch is formed on the main body cavity wall corresponding to the connecting rod 31. During the movement of the mounting seat toward the lifting button, the connecting rod is extended into the connecting hole, and the driving motor 2 cooperates with the second gear rack transmission mechanism to drive the connecting rod to move upward, and the lifting button is synchronously driven upward to open the air intake cavity. Then the mounting seat moves backward to disengage the connecting rod from the connecting hole.

[0025] In this example, a control circuit board 22 is installed at the stepped interface above drive motor 1 21. This control circuit board 22 integrates a wireless transceiver to facilitate connection with the mobile phone's built-in app. The control circuit board 22 is connected to drive motor 1 21 and drive motor 2 23. A sensor 26 is also added to this example to monitor the vertical position changes of the handle. Sensor 26 is located within the housing cavity, with a detection end extending from the housing near the top surface. Sensor 26 is connected to control circuit board 22. During use, if the handle moves upward to the predetermined position after the connecting rod is reset and the handle moves downward to reset, the sensor will not detect the handle, indicating a problem with the valve or pipeline, which facilitates troubleshooting.

[0026] In this example, at the notch where the end of the connecting rod 31 extends, elastic strips 27 are relatively fixed on the two groove walls at the notch. The two elastic strips 27 are attached to each other to seal the notch. An elastic strip is added to seal the notch. When in use, the connecting rod can pass between the two elastic strips.

[0027] In this example, an angle valve 17 is installed at the outlet cavity to control the on-off, and an excess flow limiting assembly 32 composed of a spring and a plug is installed in the intake cavity 16 in front of the intake plug 12 to close the cavity when the gas flow rate exceeds the limit.

[0028] When in use, you can build an APP into the mobile phone, and the APP is connected to the control circuit board. The APP controls the driving motor 1 to cooperate with the gear rack transmission mechanism 1 to move the mounting seat toward the lifting button, so that the end of the connecting rod extends into the lifting button connection hole, and the driving motor 2 cooperates with the alcohol rack transmission mechanism 2 to move the connecting rod upward to lift the lifting button. Under the action of magnetic force, the fixed seat moves upward, and the groove wall of the movable groove pushes the pendulum block to swing. The swing of the pendulum block causes the blocking rod to move, and the air intake plug opens the air intake cavity. After that, the driving motor 1 and the driving motor 2 cooperate with the transmission mechanisms to reset, and there is no need to manually pull the lifting button.

[0029] If overpressure, low pressure or other faults occur, the button moves down, the fixed seat moves down, and the air intake plug blocks the air intake cavity. At this time, the button can be reset through the APP. After the connecting rod is reset, the sensor detects that the button cannot stay in the predetermined position, then it can be determined that there is a problem with the air intake pipe, etc., which helps to quickly troubleshoot the fault.

[0030] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention. The scope of protection of the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. All technical solutions based on the principles of the present invention are within the scope of protection of the present invention. It should be noted that improvements and modifications that do not depart from the principles of the present invention are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
